Keanu Reeves has wowed on our screens as John Wick in the latest instalment of the hugely popular franchise - and has previously starred in other hit blockbusters including The Matrix, Constantine and Point Break. But how much do you know about the man behind the action hero? Find out everything to know about Keanu’s relationship history here… 

Keanu Reeves’ relationship history 

Keanu was dating actress and assistant Jennifer Syme back in 1998. Jennifer very sadly had a stillborn baby eight months into her pregnancy one year later, with the pair breaking up two months after the tragedy. The couple later reconciled, and were together when Jennifer was killed in a car crash in 2001. She lost control of her jeep and crashed into a row of cars on Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles. Keanu acted as a pallbearer at the funeral, and has never spoken publicly about her death.

The John Wick actor has also been romantically linked to China Chow, an actress. The pair were snapped on vacation together back in 2008, but very little is known about their relationship. China has been in a relationship with musician Billy Idol since 2018. 

Keanu has also been romantically linked to a former school friend, Brenda Davies. Keanu is also the godfather to Brenda’s daughter, Isabelle.
